You would think that some of these newspapers would welcome the free translations. I notice that Granma (Cuba's state newspaper) sure does! I noticed once that the Granma website was requesting foreign language translations of their daily propaganda (pro bono of course). I think it might have something to do with the liberal bent of the newspaper and the conservative tone of the article.

I once spent hours translating this article into English; Tale of a Teenage Communist written by a Colombian ex-leftist. They never bother to translate his articles into English, but let Gabriel Garcia Marquez say something pro-Castro, and it's broadcast all over the world in multiple languages.
